Like, two months ago they said they “would not touch” the existing building. Then they demolished the whole thing. Do you honestly believe they did a full geotechnical analysis & got Pentagon professional staff approval?

Given Mr. Trump’s documented propensity to produce spectacular distractions from his true power moves, his surprise demolition of the entirety of the East Wing should be informed by the original purpose of the Wing’s construction: to hide construction of the Presidential Bunker🇺🇸

New @nytimes.com euphemism just dropped: “opening a new legal chapter in his efforts to reshape the government,” describing the President once again breaking the law.

As of 2025-06-16 0545 UTC, at least five USAF flights with “RCH” callsigns are airborne according to globe.adsbexchange.com, including three that appear on the previous spreadsheet. This is more than saber-rattling — this is battle stations. “I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just"

Huge US Air Force deployment happening Sunday, June 15, during Trump’s Army parade spectacle! Amateur ham radio listeners documented TWENTY-SIX air-to-air refueling tankers leaving continental US air bases headed east across the Atlantic (22 KC-135s and 4 KC-46s) along with two C-17 cargo flights.

Not that anything as far-fetched as this forty year-old film plot would EVER happen today, in the good ol’ US of A, of course!
But, on the off chance that it does… try to behave like the Buttles’ upstairs neighbor, who calls out, “Mrs. Buttle, are you OK?” and later offers to help the family

As Mrs. Buttle signs the bureaucrat’s paperwork, the troops drag her husband away, his muffled screams audible through the bag clamped over his head. The Buttles’ young son runs to his shackled father and tries to hold on to him, but the troops yank the child roughly away. +

A bureaucrat enters the rubble of the apartment. He then reads aloud from a document stating Buttle “has been invited to assist the Ministry of Information in certain enquiries, and that he is liable for certain financial obligations,” and then demands that Mrs. Buttle sign copies of the document. +

Next we see a black-clad squad of armed, masked, and helmeted government troops smash through the ceiling of a modest apartment, where Mr. Buttle, his wife, and his 2 children are celebrating a meagre Christmas. The troops cuff Buttle at gunpoint and throw a bag over his head while his kids scream +

For no particular reason, I find myself thinking of the opening scenes from Terry Gilliam's 1985 film “Brazil”. Due to a bug introduced by a careless bureaucrat, a government computer prints the wrong man’s name on a list of wanted terrorists: “BUTTLE” instead of “TUTTLE,” off by a single letter… +

I’m so grateful for the careful thinking & writing that @eryk.bsky.social is doing about #LLMs and “stable diffusion” image generation — blithely referred to as “ #AI” in the current discourse.
I was struck by his response to the common objection “But that’s not A.I., that’s capitalism!” Indeed!

Not that I think I should trust a secondhand rumor sourced to Grimes and Azaelia Banks. However, Elon’s mangled tiny dick is too good not to believe in! Explains so much, really.

We love an unsubstantiated allegation! Strangely, the Daily Beast doesn’t even mention that Trump, on returning from his first Moscow trip in 1987 (arranged and sponsored by the KGB!) paid $100,000 of his own money to run this anti-NATO ad in the NY Times!

@universalhub.com this photo was posted to the r/Boston Reddit just before 2pm Saturday. They’ve apparently retreated already. Wanted to see if you covered this, but the site isn’t loading at the moment. #Boston #Nazi #Dirtbags

These fucking people ALWAYS say the opposite of what they really mean! When Elon says, “It’s time for OpenAI to return to the open-source, safety-focused force for good it once was,” it’s a pretty clear signal that he intends to extend its use as a mechanism of exploitation!

@mikeconnollyma.bsky.social any updates on who was driving the Mercedes SUV that killed cyclist John Corcoran on Mem Drive? It's been TWO MONTHS. @massdcr.bsky.social is the responsible agency; perhaps @burhanazeem.bsky.social or @mass.streetsblog.org or @jfh01.bsky.social can update us?

Here are the three posters I made with capsule bios. I also created full-sized posters for each person with a full-size image.
